Mayflower Wind to link 804 MW offshore wind to former coal plant site in Massachusetts

Mayflower Wind and Anbaric Development Partners (Anbaric) have signed an agreement for Mayflower Wind to use transmission assets developed by Anbaric to bring offshore wind to Brayton Point. Mayflower Wind will bring clean offshore wind energy from its federal offshore energy lease area to Brayton Point which will lay the foundation for the broad repowering of Brayton Point.

Brayton Point’s grid infrastructure and waterfront location make it an ideal interconnection location for offshore wind. The offshore wind project will use high voltage direct current technology that minimizes marine cabling, reduces energy losses, and strengthens the New England grid.

Mayflower Wind is a joint venture (JV) between Royal Dutch Shell Plc and Ocean Winds, which is a JV set up by EDP Renovaveis SA and Engie SA.
